Berthold Tuercke studied composition and interpretation of music with Rudolf Kolisch, Felix Greissle and Leonard Stein, who all were pupils of Arnold Schoenberg.
In his own works Tuercke attempts at further developing the esthetics of the New Viennese School into new realms of expressive and formal contour. Presentations of Tuercke's compositions were realized in the U.S.A. (Tanglewood, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York), in Finland (Tampere), in Russia (Ekaterinburg), in Italy (Venice, Bologna) at the Goethe Institutes in Brazil (Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Belo Horizonte) and at major festivals in Germany (Hannover, Frankfurt, Berlin). Among the performers of Tuercke's music are the Kronos Quartet, the ensemble recherche, BerlinUnited, the conductor Peter Gülke and the soprano Catherine Gayer. In 1990 Tuercke's chamber opera Quartet, based on a play by Heiner Müller, was produced in Kiel and Frankfurt, Germany. Tuercke's music theatre project The Imposition, based on the Chess Novel by Stefan Zweig, was awarded with the Förderpreis der Ernst-von-Siemens Stiftung in 1994. Tuercke was composer-in-residence with the Centro Tedesco (Venice), the Djerassi Foundation (California) and the Villa Aurora (Los Angeles).
